[unique aspen]

no

[plucky lodge]

before that everything u say and send in Dm was never known

[grizzled frost]

it sure sounds like you are

[unique aspen]

only issule it had was that it didnt power on with ethernet plugged in

[sinful cobalt]

electric does not fuck with fire nor water

LOOOL

[grizzled frost]

Like genuinely though, this is extreme levels of incompetence when it comes to general fire and electricity safety

Like to the degree you’re actively a danger to yourself and others in your home

I’m not trying to be funny or insulting, you need to get that checked by a licensed electrician so you don’t burn your house down

[sinful cobalt]

dude is waiting for an electrical execution

[grizzled frost]

your first steps after the PSU fire should have been A, put out the fire B, call an electrician

[sinful cobalt]

im surprised malaysia even has colourful cards from china (sg msrp is 800)

sadly its no mini so its ass

[gritty panther]

I have zero experience with colorful cards. I grew up in south east asia (philippines) we didnt have that when I was there

I was a big Palit fan. it was always priced close to msrp with extra features

my last palit card was the GTX 680 Jetstream. I moved to the US 12 years ago.

He got burn in after like 500 hrs of playing overwatch

[sinful cobalt]

And a davinci bar. Its because those areas are very static

[ionic atlas]

and everybody knows that displays burn in if you use static content

[mint umbra]

Still it's only 500 hrs

[ionic atlas]

Oled more likely but if you vary content no issue even with static elements

[mint umbra]

500 hrs is nothing

[worn willow]

why thers no mac that is a tower

[bronze summit]

It's so weird how my dream gpu costs 100$ now

[worn willow]

are you sure you spelt that correctly

[odd hull]

Yo so im planning to buy a lenovo legion go s but the 16gb ver is on sale but i was planing to buy the 32 gb ver how big is the difference between the ram sizes

[worn willow]

16gb thats the difference beetwen sizes

[bronze summit]

Yes

[ionic atlas]

I’ve used multiple OLED over many years no issues. I daily OLED laptop with that static window task bar, no issue. the display that has issues my old LCD IPS from like 2014.

So results vary

[odd hull]

I mean how big

[grizzled frost]

about 16GB

[worn willow]

32 is 32gb
16 is 16 gb
difference is
32 - 16
that is equal to 16

[ionic atlas]

How many phone displays burn in these days ?

[odd hull]

Ah yes preformenc wise tho

[grizzled frost]

All of them eventually

[mint umbra]

I just think the future will be like micro led

[ionic atlas]

iPhone X used to burn in. But since that era, not been a issue

[grizzled frost]

Same performance, unless you need more than 16GB of ram

[mint umbra]

Cuz OLED is flawed tech imo

[worn willow]

unless you use more ram than 16 go with 32

[grizzled frost]

In which case, massive performance benefit from 32 if you need more than 16

[ionic atlas]

You can buy one from me if you got the cash

[odd hull]

So there's nothing wrong with 16bg

Gb

[mint umbra]

Like OLED looks great but will never get rid of burn in issue

[worn willow]

yeah unless you need more than it

[odd hull]

Alr thanks

[grizzled frost]

Correct, the only "problem" is that 16 is less than 32

[odd hull]

I mean its built-in

[worn willow]

and 32gb sounds more pricy

[odd hull]

Its a hand held

[worn willow]

oh handheld doesnt need 32 gb really

[grizzled frost]

Some handhelds are slotted

[odd hull]

Realy

[grizzled frost]

Yes

[odd hull]

Huh ima check

[ionic atlas]

But MicroLED has the flaw of runtime, since it’s LED the diods may be rated 50k hours, 100k hours. So over time even MicroLED suffer from getting lower brightness after a time, and if you use static content, you burn hours on that section of the screen faster.

[grizzled frost]

Most aren't, but some are

[worn willow]

also lcd gets black in heat

[grizzled frost]

LCD also freezes in super low temps

[ionic atlas]

LCD can never be inky black, only dark gray

[odd hull]

No its soldered in

[worn willow]

burn a lcd with lighter
it turns oled black

[odd hull]

No extra ram space

[mint umbra]

What are you using PC outside in the winter

[worn willow]

i tested it and it truns actual black

[odd hull]

Becuse its burnt

[worn willow]

but it then repairs itself magicly

[odd hull]

Set your sofa on fire and it will be black too

I think thats because the temperature started to drop

[worn willow]

but if you burn oled it might go oled not work

[grizzled frost]

That would be because the liquid crystals are going back to a liquid instead of a crystal

[worn willow]

what if i stab my battery

[grizzled frost]

in the case of lithium ion? it explodes

[worn willow]

nice

[odd hull]

And if you poor water on it it might not work

[worn willow]

will it break my phone

[ionic atlas]

you also loose 10iq

[odd hull]

Na just put it in rice

[grizzled frost]

If your battery explodes in your phone? yeah

also causes chemical burns, and old fashion burns

[worn willow]

but what is delay beetwen stab and explosion

[odd hull]

Depends on the moon phases

[grizzled frost]

Depends

[odd hull]

If its a full moon about.0.5 sec

[worn willow]

on what

[odd hull]

On the moon

🌚

[grizzled frost]

how charged the battery is, the exact composition, and how hard you stab

[worn willow]

ok and is lithium dangerous

[grizzled frost]

Extremely

[odd hull]

Duh

[grizzled frost]

Hence the "chemical burns"

[worn willow]

so do it not at home

[grizzled frost]

ontop of the normal burns you get from the explosion

[odd hull]

Dont do it at att

[grizzled frost]

two types of burns at the same time

[odd hull]

Also breathing that smoke in

[worn willow]

so its bad idea to do it in enclosed space too

[grizzled frost]

would give you chemical burns in the lungs

[grizzled frost]

It's a bad idea to do, full stop

no if ands or buts, it is a bad idea

[odd hull]

Its a bad idea period

[grizzled frost]

You will seriously injure yourself

[worn willow]

what if i stab the cpu instead

[grizzled frost]

depends on where you stab

[odd hull]

We cant be fr

[worn willow]

the mothearboard

[odd hull]

Dont stab anything

[grizzled frost]

that ain't the CPU

[worn willow]

ANYTHING?

[real quiver]

Now if only I could stop buying random gpus that are a few generations old and buy a replacement for my current computer

[odd hull]

Legit dont pick up anything with a point you fina stab something

[worn willow]

i once stabbed somebody with a pencil
but that was accident
but now i want do to devices

[odd hull]

Bice steam deck is it worth it?

[real quiver]

I like it for when I'm not home

[odd hull]

Bro quit it you dont wana do that

[worn willow]

i need a new phone
but i need proper reason

[odd hull]

Oml

Water damage

[worn willow]

tried

[odd hull]

Drop it in the toilet say it was in your back pocket

How old r u!

Like below 15?

[worn willow]

not below

[valid fiber]

here is a reason. your current phone doesn't have a projector
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XZMnc6MDhA

[worn willow]

i dont need projector

also i dont want a android this time

[odd hull]

Get a usb killer or just get on your bike and trow the phone

And say you crashed

Please anything but stabing the battery

[valid fiber]

well iphones don't really improve anymore they just change the color and move the camera's around

[odd hull]

It more for ascetic reasons

[real quiver]

And the notch experiences continental drift

[odd hull]

And old android fetuses as new ones

[real quiver]

What

[jovial swan]

Which is best,
Xbox Rog ally (with Z2A)
ROG ally with Z1 extreme
MSI claw with Intel Core 7 155H?

[gritty panther]

Ally z1e especially if it's cheaper

[worn willow]

or put it in my enemys bag
and tell somebody stole it

[tranquil wharf]

you have enemies?

[gritty panther]

@jovial swan you also get the xbox fullscreen experience whatever it's called on the ROG Ally z1e

[worn willow]

yes

[gritty panther]

there's no difference btw

[odd hull]

I have no enemies

[tranquil wharf]

true warrior

[worn willow]

it would work and i would have new phone

[odd hull]

https://tenor.com/view/thofinn-gif-27635363

[odd hull]

And compared to lenovo legion go s z2go

[gritty panther]

wouldnt bother with those. weaker soc's

even Z2a is slower.

ROG Ally Z1e or Legion Go imo

just a warning with legion go. the speakers isnt very good

aside from that it's good

[odd hull]

So a z1e for cheep is what best for the money

[gritty panther]

yes. it's not that much slower compared to Z2e

30% faster gpu?

probably less in some cases

[odd hull]

How much should it cost

[gritty panther]

who knows in your area. it's very cheap here in the US (z1e rog ally)

[odd hull]

How much in us

[gritty panther]

$350?

I always see them on bestbuy

open box deals etc.

[odd hull]

Ok... so like rog ally xbox costs 800 so it could possibly be around 400

For me

[gritty panther]

probably. check facebook marketplace

or your local ebay listings

[odd hull]

Asus Rog Ally X, Z1 Extreme, 1Tb 24gb for 480

With the case charged and a usb dock

[snow karma]

Tech prices rise in GPU...

My old GTX 1080 ti there is 9 years old... must be kept alive 2 years more!

[valid garden]

the 1080 Ti is still solid. my friend has a 1080 Ti and an i5-12400

I wish this crisis would be over tho cuz my target GPU is still very expensive

[scarlet marlin]

is there a point where having more fans means worse airflow? my case can fit 9, I'm using 3 intake (front) 3 exhaust (bottom + top) and there's 3 more bottom fans that can fit

[grizzled frost]

depends

[ebon marlin]

personally i'd get a Legion Go instead

[snow karma]

I know it still a solid card! I got it for 10$ back in 2018!

But my plan currently plan, was to replace it with a RTX 5070 TI in the next 3 months... But sadly the GPU price have skyrocket... So now i need to wait more.

[ebon marlin]

I owned a regular Rog Ally Z1E b4 and it was awful

ergonomics were so bad that I didn't even want to bother playing with it when I could

[valid garden]

yeah my target upgrade is a 6600XT and those are like 200 to 250 rn

my current card is unfortunately a 4GB RX 580, not even the 8GB variant

[tulip sparrow]

Been using the feature for years via sound assistant for years at this point in time https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-phone-separate-app-sound-how-use-3638349/

[tulip sparrow]

Thickness has never been an issue for me LOL

[snow karma]

Oh i fell bad for you 🙁

You could maybe buy a used GTX 1080 TI or RTX 2000s serie?

But it ofcoruse depends, on what games you play.

[valid garden]

maybe a 2060, but I use linux a lot and my previous NVIDIA Linux experience wasn't pleasent

of course, having CUDA would be a plus, I'll definitely look it up

[tulip sparrow]

2060 Super I have paired with my old i5 3570k is plenty for 1080p@60 gaming I do do on that rig attached to my TV

[snow karma]

Yay, AMD is better in Linux, but you could buy a used AMD card?

[tulip sparrow]

I do plan on replacing the system with a amd powered miniPC since I need something that takes up less space and not as much power

RX 6000/7000 series should work fine then

The machine running Linux is another reason I want to swap away from the nvidia GPU to an AMD APU

[valid garden]

200$ is used.

because a surplus of people are buying these cards for the crisis

[odd hull]

Ok thanks

[ebon marlin]

I've owned the Rog Ally, Steam Deck and Legion Go and so far Legion Go is easily my most favorite handheld

I still own my steam deck

but Legion GO with the 80wh battery mod is a game changer

the Rog Ally is my most hated handheld yet lmao

I'll also probably get an Ayn Thor soon

[worn willow]

only handhelds i have are
switch 1
psp

[ebon marlin]

I've got a Nintendo Switch, New 3DS XL, Nintendo DSi XL, PSVita OLED model, PSP-1000, Steam Deck, Legion Go and also technically Wii U

[odd hull]

So legon go s over steam deck yes?

[ebon marlin]

Legion Go not Legion Go S

Go has detachable controllers

game changer feature

[worn willow]

if you could install linux on switch

[odd hull]

Im not lying my country doesn't sell go ver

[ebon marlin]

why buy old stuff brand new

check ur used markets lmao

[odd hull]

Nothing

[ebon marlin]

I was able to get a Legion GO with a 1tb nvme + 80wh battery mod for 380€

[odd hull]

If not in stores not used markets

[ebon marlin]

also got my Steam Deck LCD like new for 250€ with a 1tb SN770

[odd hull]

I mean a pawn shop has one for 380 without working controllers

[ebon marlin]

ay caramba

new controllers are like 70€ for both

from Aliexpress original controllers

[flint quest]

Yo
can i swap a seasonic focus SPX and a PX witout swapping the cables?

I wanna upgrade mine to the 750w i orderd for my brother
Cus fuck him
I want that headroom for upgrades xd

[gaunt spade]

linus fell off only 1 view

[worn willow]

i would pick iphone

[odd hull]

I mean the s ver goes for 500 for the 16gb ram

So not bad deal

[gaunt spade]

na

[odd hull]

Pick a google phone

[worn willow]

i want a iphone

android isnt updated for like 4 years

[ebon marlin]

the S isn't honestly worth it

[odd hull]

What phone u have

[worn willow]

motorola

[ebon marlin]

you don't understand how nice it is to have detachable controllers on a handheld

[gaunt spade]

i have motorola too and it works perfectly fine

[odd hull]

I mean yeah i have no other choices the s or steam deck

[worn willow]

but android isnt updated for years

[ebon marlin]

I can set my console up on a table and just play with the detached controllers

no need to torture my back with bad posture

[odd hull]

If it pure convenience than im good

[gaunt spade]

wich one do you have

[odd hull]

I got like 3 contolers at home

[worn willow]

android 12

[ebon marlin]

more than convenience it just makes playing games more enjoyable to play

[odd hull]

Wich year phone

[worn willow]

2021

[ebon marlin]

extra stuff to carry around

[gaunt spade]

wich phone

[worn willow]

motorola

[ebon marlin]

[odd hull]

Upgrade to a google phone or samsung fe series

[gaunt spade]

i got a moto edge 30 pro

[worn willow]

ew samsung

[ebon marlin]

but honestly android versions aren't that important anymore

[gaunt spade]

moto is worse

[odd hull]

Both have value

[ebon marlin]

I've got a OnePlus 13R myself and i'm getting my new phone soon the Realme GT7

[worn willow]

i want iphone

[gaunt spade]

get a honor or xiaomi with 9000 mah battery

[gaunt spade]

[odd hull]

I got a s23 fe for the last 2 years

Not failed me yet

[ebon marlin]

I want to get one but they're stuck with chinese roms

[ebon marlin]

eh Motorola also just has the worst android support

[odd hull]

Amd this September im upgrading to a google

[worn willow]

didnt porsche make a phone

[ebon marlin]

no

[gaunt spade]

import

[gaunt spade]

no flashing?

[ebon marlin]

they're stuck with chinese roms and when you try to flash global roms you'll have faceid and fingerprint unlocked blocked off and no access to bank apps

[worn willow]

i want a iphone because the ios 26 looks better than andwoid 16

[gleaming rose]

iOS 26 is awful trust me

[ebon marlin]

your'e probably the only person who likes ios26 lmao

[gleaming rose]

it's not even usable

[worn willow]

android is looking same for few years

[worn willow]

its not bad

[gleaming rose]

oh right you're a troll anyways

[ebon marlin]

android doesn't have a specific look

[gleaming rose]

yeah different brands have different skins

[gaunt spade]

are we deadaaahh rn

[odd hull]

Androids are for quality of life iPhones are for the ascetic

[gleaming rose]

he was trying to ragebait like yesterday or the day before

[ebon marlin]

I have a Realme GT 7 Pro with a chinese rom on it and if you want to flash a global rom to it you won't have access to faceid + fingerprint

[worn willow]

but maybe they should update the skin
im stuck with almost stock like ui

[gleaming rose]

what??? 😭

[odd hull]

Tell me its not true

[gleaming rose]

it isn't lmao

ascetic?

[odd hull]

Explain

[worn willow]

but apple ecosystem looks nice

[ebon marlin]

I used to be an apple fanboy but android is more convenient don't have to pay for subscriptions

[worn willow]

but im forced to use outdated android

[gleaming rose]

you can make an android phone look way better than an iPhone

[ebon marlin]

pal if you've got a Moto G60S you're quite far from being able to afford 5k just to be in the ecosystem

[odd hull]

Ok so english is my second language puls my dyslexia and its a shit combo

[worn willow]

it works worse than my previous lg phone i had before the moto

[ebon marlin]

LG is nice

[gleaming rose]

and iPhones are just ugly

[worn willow]

yeah but they ended

[odd hull]

Just go for google 10

Cant miss

[worn willow]

personally i would just go with the e model
i dont need fancy stuff like camera control
or magsafe

[ebon marlin]

google pixel 10 is poopoo

[gleaming rose]

Google phones are not that good

[worn willow]

it explodes
(jerry rig told taht)

[ebon marlin]

you're talking about the fold

completely different phone

[worn willow]

google phone is google phone

[gleaming rose]

I don't care lmao

[odd hull]

Thats like saying iPhone sa is exactly like a 17

Tbh they might be

[gaunt spade]

google goat

[worn willow]

but iphone 16 is same as 17 but colors and 120hz

[odd hull]

Like google is just a safe choice

[worn willow]

but its the most plainest ui

[ivory mountain]

i think mine is pretty 😡

[fringe prairie]

perfectly usable what?

[ebon marlin]

cleanest UI is by OxygenOS

[fringe prairie]

i’m on 26.2.1 on a 15 pro

[worn willow]

cleanest ui is ios

[odd hull]

So as my samsung 23fe

Wich is older

[worn willow]

but 60hz and 120hz almost feels the same

[odd hull]

And btw iPhone buys screens from Samsung

[worn willow]

atleast not batteries

[ebon marlin]

not just samsung also LG

[ebon marlin]

ugliest currently

[gleaming rose]

not true

[ebon marlin]

liquid glass is poop

[odd hull]

Bro 😭

[worn willow]

also did they fix the exploding batteries in samsung

[gleaming rose]

yes that was one phone 😭

[odd hull]

One phone had cooling problems 10 years agp

[gaunt spade]

braindead message

[worn willow]

when they fix i might consider samsung

[ebon marlin]

wasn't a cooling problem

they didn't give the battery enough space

[gaunt spade]

https://giphy.com/gifs/warning-ragebait-vHq6h1gmJSuedP1Gj4

[worn willow]

but they need to fix that

[odd hull]

10 years ago

[worn willow]

wait 10 years?

[odd hull]

Yes

[worn willow]

i thought that was like 2 years ago

[odd hull]

Also you can type or write with your feet

also false, I currently cannot do that

Mach my freek and then come back

😝

[fringe prairie]

are there any others that offer 5+ years of software updates? afaik only google and samsung offer that for androids

[gaunt spade]

thats pretty stupid imo

they just didnt have alot of phones in stock or sum

[fringe prairie]

perfectly reasonable requirement to have 🤷‍♂️

i wish more android phone manufacturers had better software support

@worn willow is the type of person to close a fold phone backwards

oh my god STARTING at $500? Thats ridiculous
This make Framework 12 seem cheap. Granted, $550 and you have no storage or RAM. But those are cheap, and you get to decide what OS goes on it

No idea why the big iPad start st $350. Its a much bigger device

[frail sequoia]

HOLY SHIT

The windows xp laptop had the graphic driver setup file already on it!!

[rigid fjord]

why is there more ztt rejects comming in?

I’ve been here since December

[frail sequoia]

Over a year*
I still had a gtx 1660 when I was in there

[rigid fjord]

yes but ztt promotes actual crap and considers it's worth charging people 500 for a list made on pcpp, before a pc gets built

in that actual crap part, it involves bottleneck calculators

[balmy tapir]

not saying it's a good or bad thing, just a funny trend i've seen with tech discords

[tranquil wharf]

I'm confused, are they an SI

[rigid fjord]

no

[gaunt spade]

ztts server is corrupt

ztt itself and the server differ

Whats a good bid to put on a Samsung Series 9 laptop from 2012. It has a 3200x1800 display, I5 4200U
4 GB ram
Win 10

[vestal stream]

Ok leafy

[gaunt spade]

[grizzled frost]

use seven alts to bid 5usd, then on your main account bid 20

[carmine yew]

25 bucks? tops

[vestal stream]

If you need an 8gig ddr3 sodimm I got you.

[bleak ledge]

This is why I don't update the OS on my phone 😑

As far as I can tell, the only fix is to factory reset

[vestal stream]

Nvm it's another 4gig, you can have it idc

[jovial swan]

Its on a Danish Craigslist like app, so gotta contact Seller directly, Seller has it up for 1000 dkk.

[grizzled frost]

so convert usd to dkk, then do what i said

[vestal stream]

Pfffffft

Dawg that shit is not worth 1000dkk

Hell it ain't even worth 500sek

[grizzled frost]

also i second the idea that thing is overpriced

[tidal ice]

Can't decide, my mainboard has 5 m.2 slots but 2 are shared with the gpu slot which limits to x8 pcie 5.0, what's the performance impact with a rtx 5090?

[vestal stream]

Now I gotta find a way to overclock a 3200mhz cl22 stick down to 3600mhz cl18. Now how tf am I suppose to do that

[gaunt spade]

why do you want that laptop

[grizzled frost]

<1%

[vestal stream]

Isn't the 5090 PCIe gen4?

[grizzled frost]

no, all the 50 series cards are gen5

even though none of them actually noticeably benefit from it

[vestal stream]

But none of them have the bandwidth for gen5

[craggy cove]

never ragebid on auctions

[vestal stream]

Yeah I see

[grizzled frost]

they have the bandwidth for it, they just don’t actually fully utilize it

[vestal stream]

Well, I'm still perfectly happy with my 3080ti

[carmine yew]

Anything under the 5080 doesn't really "need" gen5. Even the 5080's borderline for needing 5.

[cold skiff]

That’s good as it’s gonna have to last you another 5 years unless ya wanna spend 2k on another Nvidia gpu

[grizzled frost]

the 5080 doesn’t need gen5, the 5090 is borderline for needing gen5

[sleek vector]

Gamers anyone know how to fix a broken bios

[grizzled frost]

qflash

or buy a new board

[sleek vector]

Do i have a q flash

[sleek vector]

Aw cmon 😭

[covert peak]

what dpi do yall use

[grizzled frost]

whatever the default is on the beast x mini

[sleek vector]

Should i take my pc to an expert

[carmine yew]

nope, not on a board that old

[grizzled frost]

only if they do free of charge diagnosis

[sleek vector]

Idk if im gonna have to pay the guy and also by a new bios tho

Board*

[grizzled frost]

bios isn’t paid, board is tho

[sleek vector]

Yeah typo

[grizzled frost]

why do you think your bios is “broken”

[tidal geyser]

What motherboard

[sleek vector]

I alr bought a new cmos that did nothing

Asus b550 m a wifi

[sleek vector]

I disabled docp and it bricked

No monitor input

My ram might be shot idk

[carmine yew]

... B550 board with DVI?

What the actual fuck?

[craggy cove]

i bought these 4 for 22€ wtf was i thinking 😭

[sleek vector]

Whats dvi lol idk pcs

[carmine yew]

hey, look, cheap fans!

[craggy cove]

"fucking bitch outbidding me"

[grizzled frost]

ancient ass video connector

[craggy cove]

will these look classy

or weird

[carmine yew]

the last GPUs that came with DVI were GTX 1000 series

[craggy cove]

i think i will just disable the rgb 🙏

[sleek vector]

Yeah im on an rtx 5070

[carmine yew]

it's on your motherboard

[sleek vector]

Yep

I think im just super screwed i have no idea how to get back to the bios to disable those settings

[grizzled frost]

remove cmos battery for 5-10 minutes, put it back in, try powering on

[carmine yew]

unplug the power cord from the PSU
Take out the CMOS Battery

Hold the power button in on the PC for 30 seconds

Put battery back
Plug in

Try turning it on again

[sleek vector]

I left cmos out overnight

[carmine yew]

was it plugged in still?

[sleek vector]

Yeah i did that stuff like 13 times now

Nope

I bought a bew battery

And that didn't work eithier

I touched the 2 pins also to short

Nothin

And everytime i power off and unplug the residual electricity light up stuff for like a minute unplugged

Idk how it can retain the energy like that

[carmine yew]

capacitors

it's literally what they're designed to do

[tidal geyser]

:3

[sleek vector]

Faulty maby

[sleek vector]

Lobotomy

Idk the more i fidget the more i think imma damage

I keep putting the ram in different configs

[frail sequoia]

The e-system 3082 has a long ass boot time

It is a 40gb ide hdd with 256mb of ddr sodimm

[sleek vector]

Widows xp based

[frail sequoia]

Windows xp with a celeron m 380 @ 1.6ghz

Has sis661gx igpu

[sleek vector]

Idk shit abt computers ngl

Im just good at games bricked my pc tho and imma noob at that

All coz i wanted to revert back to auto instead if docp on a fast boot mobo

Yo what time does linus wake up dude i got a video idea for him right here 😂

[gaunt spade]

expensive

[sleek vector]

But fr i have tried everything everyone including chat gpt said

[tidal geyser]

I do not have enough amps

[sleek vector]

Try volts fr

Freq too even

[mellow coral]

Take it to an expert at this point

[sleek vector]

Yeah

[rigid fjord]

on trhe cheaper end ones, yeah

[carmine yew]

4 fans for 22 ain't expensive

[grizzled frost]

i spent 25usd on one fan

multiple times in fact

[carmine yew]

Noctua can easily be 25-35 for one fane

[grizzled frost]

can be even more expensive if you buy LIAN LI UNI fans

[carmine yew]

corsair has had fans that were 45-50 per fan

[tidal geyser]

time to wait

[cold skiff]

Fans used to be cheap

[tranquil wharf]

I kinda want some of those fans that snap together and require no wires between them at some point

[grizzled frost]

fans still are cheap

[tidal geyser]

ok boomer

[grizzled frost]

if you buy cheap fans

[rigid fjord]

super cheap

[cold skiff]

As soon as argb came in they went aspensive

[gaunt spade]

ive had those exactly i sold 3 for 40

[gaunt spade]

i can get argb fans for 1.5$ a piece

[fringe prairie]

you can get argb fans for pretty cheap

[carmine yew]

you did not, those fans are brand new releases

[rigid fjord]

nope, they still be cheap

[torpid sinew]

lol apple charge $100 from 128 to 256
I know storage is ridiculously expensive, but last time I check $100 will net you almost a terabyte

And regarding RAM. How much do you think Apple is giving you?

[cold skiff]

Yeah but you only ever had one expensive brand back in the day - noctua

[gaunt spade]

120 version

[sleek vector]

Fanmaxxing

[fringe prairie]

i’m aware of their prices

[cold skiff]

Now it’s $100 for 3 fans like fuck that. Don’t even perform that well either

[fringe prairie]

i’m not saying apples pricing is any better

[rigid fjord]

2 actually, scythe and noctua

[torpid sinew]

of course. but in comparison, you know.
Furthermore it is DDR4 (laptop), I think

[cold skiff]

Scythe wasn’t big in the UK

[plain cypress]

Corsair also sells some relatively cheap fans (PWM, no RGB)
But if you're buying Corsair fans, it's really for the RGB ecosystem

[cold skiff]

Not when I was a wee lad

[plain cypress]

Hard to beat 5 packs of Arctic fans for value

[tidal geyser]

pro tip if you spill something on your laptop a quick iso clean and its fine

[cold skiff]

Yeah I got them arctics

[fringe prairie]

it’s d5

[cold skiff]

What if you urinate on your laptop, asking for a friend

[tidal geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-reaction-michi-triste-crying-cat-reaction-sad-cat-hannicion-gif-17190162121303461099

[cold skiff]

Arctic was always near top performance for near bottom price

[fringe prairie]

me personally i’d rather a p14s or xmg evo 14 over the framework. the concept is pretty nice though

wish the price was better but small company 🤷‍♂️

[gaunt spade]

chinese noname fans>>>>

[rigid fjord]

better value while performing the same as or better than noctua

[cold skiff]

Probably rebranded to your named fan and you don’t know it

[gaunt spade]

exactly

i buy chinese fans only

for dirt cheap and its the same

[plain cypress]

I shall continue daily driving Corsair RGB everything 🫡

[rigid fjord]

you know what the best value airflow fans for a case but has argb on is?

ez-fab diy moonlights

6 fans for 40-50 and runs straight off the mobo

[carmine yew]

https://www.amazon.com/darkFlash-Addressable-Cooling-Computer-Airflow/dp/B0FT1ZG76J/
I dig these for the Tron look

[rigid fjord]

sadly cooler master has the only air cooler to match this

[carmine yew]

any air cooler with 2 120mm fans.

Sub these 😉

[rigid fjord]

not for that, the whole cooler had similar lighting

[carmine yew]

ahhh neat

[rigid fjord]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GBjNnQ
there's a threadreaper version of this also

[flint quest]

Guys
9060xt
or 5060 ti???
amd would be like 200 bucks cheaper if i get it discounted
but idk if it can hold up to nvidias superior toolkit

[rigid fjord]

9060xt 16gb

[flint quest]

ok

[carmine yew]

gaming only or productivity

[flint quest]

Most gaming
some blender and davinci here and there

[rigid fjord]

cheaper while holding the same performance as the 5060ti 16gb

[carmine yew]

you might want CUDA for those if they matter much

[flint quest]

gonna be paired with the ryzen 7 9700x

[flint quest]

i mean...Both gonna be better than my 3060 8gb

🥀

[flint quest]

Is the diffrence that big?

[carmine yew]

for cuda enabled apps? yes

[rigid fjord]

cuda only matters for blender tbh

[carmine yew]

you can find comparisons on youtube

[flint quest]

Does labs not have data on the 9060??

yeah, fuck blender, this aint even a fair comparison 💀

why no DLAA in tests

[hexed tapir]

What country

[flint quest]

germany

[steep raptor]

Europe 🙂

[fringe prairie]

how much is this for you

oh germany

so like 250 euro i’m guessing

[rigid fjord]

take a hike, a fucking long one

[flint quest]

i wish

[wispy wraith]

hi everyone, i bought noctua nh d14. i have the y cable spliter. which fan should get the rpm readout? the middle 140mm or outer 120mm? or does it not matter

[hexed tapir]

https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/b92j4D/acer-predator-bifrost-oc-radeon-rx-9070-16-gb-video-card-dpz4gwwp01 the 9070 is slightly cheaper than the 5060ti you have shown

[flint quest]

still more expensicve than the 9060

also it seems to happen a lot that the 70 is cheaper than the 60ti
i saw the same with the 3070 a while back

[hexed tapir]

Get a good used 4070 super/4070ti for €550

[carmine yew]

doesn't matter

[flint quest]

mhh, also an idea

Aslong as i can avoid the 12volt nvidia bs tbh

[carmine yew]

the 12V NVidia connector is only an issue on really high powered cards. Anything in the 70 tier is safe

[grizzled frost]

it’s really only the 4090/5090 that are somewhat at risk

[carmine yew]

get warshipped lol

[grizzled frost]

kek, autofiltered

my discord didn’t even get the chance to scroll to fit the message by the time it was gone

[hexed tapir]

Both the 4070ti/super are 550 on Germany ebay and way faster then the 5060ti

[hexed tapir]

Hey the 9070xt with the stinky port fried too

[grizzled frost]

that’s 100% user error

that’s fine

[brave brook]

there is only one good Threadripper CPU cooler tho

(which is not RGB at all)

[teal venture]

If I’m going from Intel to amd is there anything I need to do or will windows n shit just work right away?

[carmine yew]

CPU or GPU

[teal venture]

Cpu

[flint quest]

Ask yourself why you used intel anyways 🙏 /JK

[carmine yew]

smart call is to reinstall windows

[teal venture]

Damnnnn. I just did that recently lmao on my 12700k. If I gotta do it again with my 9850x3D I will but I’m not happy about it lol

Does it have to be a full reinstall or a “repair”

[carmine yew]

Kids today are soft.

I used to reinstall windows every 2-4 months to keep it running well.

[balmy tapir]

its almost always a better idea to do a fresh install of windows

you can always partition your drive to save some files or use another drive to backup things

[flint quest]

Tbh
id do the same still if i was not to lazy
windows performance loves to randomly just drop into nirvana

[teal venture]

Since doikg it the other week it’s only gsmes and steam n shit I’d have to re download

[flint quest]

i have all my games on non main drives

SOOO
idc xd
i do needa upgrade my main ssd from 500gb to 2tbh tbh

i have also never gotten around t replace my 2 hard drives 💀

[craggy cove]

me when i had too much free time

the worse hardware i had, the more time i spent on my computer

[carmine yew]

nah, win9x was a very VERY different time

[dusk patio]

what are y'all doing to your windows installations to be breaking it every 2-4 months lmao

[craggy cove]

shiit 9x, i was doing this on win 7 when i finally got my own computer

unsure if it even improved anything

i was trying to squeeze a very dry lemon with my specs

[dusk patio]

ah makes sense I suppose

[iron glen]

Hi http

[frail sequoia]

This can probs run win 9x (comes with xp)

[craggy cove]

hello

[valid garden]

you should upgrade it

[iron glen]

Wsp rauko

[iron glen]

Hows it hanging

[valid garden]

ram will be SODIMM and I think you can do Pentium M on this platform if the CPU is PPGA478 which it has been for a long time

holy fuck I'm sick as hell wtf

[rigid fjord]

about to do some harm to some germans on sniper elite 4

[craggy cove]

[rigid fjord]

funily enough, you could run win7 on that but terribly pisspoorly

[valid garden]

skifidjcjdjc the doctors office keeps extending wait times. It s a University of Iowa Urgent care mind you

so I should get in fast and urgently

[iron glen]

Lol

[rigid fjord]

you're not urgent enough for them to care i guess

[valid garden]

I'm sorry I'm sleeping bullshit I'm just pissed

[valid garden]

I would hope to think flu like symptoms and feeling delusional would be urgent enough but ig not

[craggy cove]

22€ + 2€ shipping for 4 of these

i recognized the guy who bid over me and i thought "fuck this guy, either i make him pay more for it or i get it"

[valid garden]

but anyways I just need to rest, I just woke up from a 4 hour nap and it was amazing

[craggy cove]

how does a 4 hour nap feel amazing

i just wake up sweaty and disoriented

and my sleep schedule will be messed up

[craggy cove]

i just realized

theres only 1 power adapter

[valid garden]

I'm sick

[craggy cove]

meaning i cant use 1 fan

[frail sequoia]

It’s my dads old laptop, I’m not even resetting it so I gotta do this for games

My 90 blank DVDs be coming in handy tho

[valid garden]

back up them games!

[frail sequoia]

Yeah…. Backed up games

[valid garden]

I had an inspiron 9300 until it broke in 2024 (2005 laptop) and I'm very upset I couldnt run portal on it to see how good the ATI Mobility Radeon X300 was

I think in 2005 that was like dells standard budget gaming GPU

[hexed tapir]

Bro raw dogging the hdd

[valid garden]

and my Inspiron 1525s screen got shit on however it has HDMI so im definetly not cooked

[frail sequoia]

I’m wanting to sell my thinkpad e14 gen 3 with a 5500u, 16gb ram and 256gb ssd for like £100-110 to buy a dell precision m4300 with a core2duo t7700, 4gb ram and nvidia quadro fx 360m or the msi mega book gx700 i found that has nvidia graphics (doesn’t list full specs)

[valid garden]

selling new for old that makes me happy 🥲

[latent gull]

Wait is that esata or usb to sata?

[valid garden]

one end has USB A so im guessing its an A to A cable or E-SATA

[frail sequoia]

I’m 16 and I like old tech

[frail sequoia]

E sata was a weird looking port but you could still use usb-a on it

[valid garden]

im almost 14 and im facinated by old tech

im a new person lmao

[gleaming rose]

I am also fascinated by old tech

it seems like it was made by people compared to the new shit

I'm desperately searching for an amber CRT monitor

[gleaming rose]

what the fuck

[craggy cove]

where do i get wide usb?

[warm anvil]

Whats wrong with this?

[craggy cove]

i cant find the second wide usb connector for it

[mint umbra]

discord dyingf gg

[formal sonnet]

That's because it's not a USB connector... That requires a SATA power cable, and the connector under the USB A plug requires SATA data.

[mint umbra]

face age verification while discord data leaks happen all the time ...

[craggy cove]

this?

sweet

[formal sonnet]

Yes and I had the power and data backwards in my original message. Fixed. You'll need a SATA data cable for the smaller plug - it gets connected to the same plug on your motherboard.

[tidal ice]

The upgrade was successfull to ryzen 9950x3d with new board 🙂

Ram was a secondhand 64gb 5600mhz kit for 420$ was a bit worried at first, specially when memory training took a bit longer but it's working fine now

[gleaming rose]

you can just .... not verify your age

as long as you don't care about 18+ channels and speaking in a stage channel

[mint umbra]

for now thats all it is

[gleaming rose]

so complain when it becomes a problem twin

it's not like the verification bots are hard to fool anyways if you're so concerned

Y'all ever feel bad for your old phone when you get a new one

[stark kiln]

Im now convinced T-Mobile has something against me

[tidal geyser]

no never my old one already loses security support or something goes really wrong with it

i also go from like lcd to OLED then 120hz oled and better perofmrance and battery life to that being even more so the case and so on

oh yea my samsung also has massive burn in too

[buoyant bridge]

Is this mobile data or the fixed 5G

[valid garden]

I have T Mobile too maybe you in suburbs or something

[valid garden]

I used to have an Alcatel Axel, Now I have an A35 5G 2024 which is a world better. Basically what I'm saying is no

[buoyant bridge]

I went from a OnePlus 7 pro to a iPhone 12 Pro Max to a Pixel 7 pro to a iPhone 14 Pro Max to a Pixel 9 pro

I've felt bad for all the android phones, never got attached to the iPhones

[valid garden]

I don't like iPhone tbh, some models are fine, others are terrible

[stark kiln]

In in NYC

[valid garden]

that explains it

[stark kiln]

My wifi. Mobile data is slightly faster

[valid garden]

probably like 200 people use it at the same time

[stark kiln]

Wouldn't it be better in NYC

[valid garden]

nope because 200 or more people are using it and it gets conjested especially in one tower

[buoyant bridge]

what's the signal on ur fixed 5G router or does T-Mobile do fiber now

cus that seems like what those fixed 5G routers do when they're too close to walls or windows

[valid garden]

I also have T mobile but far less people use it so my tower is less conjested

[buoyant bridge]

doesn't change the fact those routers need like super particular placement

I used to have one at my summer house and it genuinely would drop from 300 down to 20 down if I moved it 6 inches

[stark kiln]

Damn well it's near a wall, near my tv, where should I put it

[buoyant bridge]

the little screen on it tells you the signal strength

you just gotta move it around till it's at least 3 bars

ideally you want 5 but realistically 3 is all you need for max speeds (but not the best ping that requires all 5)

[hexed sage]

Is that Charles

Still rocking my 30 Series laptop (packin' that mobile RTX 3080 TI GPU) to this day 😤 https://x.com/OtakuEspiritu/status/2020696653473477094?s=20

[stark kiln]

It's already at 4 and I have the exact router

It sucks even at 4 bars

[buoyant bridge]

smth about your setup then lol

mine always sucked below 3 bars it was night and day going from 2 to 3

[hexed tapir]

3080ti mobile seems to be around the 4060ti desktop performance it's still kicking fine

[clear canyon]

who tf is this

[hexed tapir]

They have 0 messages here

[glossy patio]

It's actually closely equivalent to a desktop 3060 Ti, but yeah. It's still a very good 1080p GPU while having 16 GB of VRAM for any triple A game

[proper gull]

A bot

[steel umbra]

please let me borrow your credit card info it’s for a game i’m making

[rigid fjord]

definitely feels like a bot

[grizzled frost]

“will you install this exe and run it as admin pretty please, it’s a game i’m making”

file: definitely_not_a_trojan.exe

[zealous shell]

Hi, wanna ask a bit if anyone have tests on these cxmt RAMs

[solemn pewter]

Is the Magic Keyboard for iPads worth the extra cost? Or are the cheaper options good enough?

[zealous shell]

these caught my attention

And there seems to be no testing on DRAM from china yet, especially cxmt, so wanna know what you guys think on these

[sinful cobalt]

a 3060ti and 4060ti are close

[zealous shell]

and yeah, with that pricepoint, is it worth a shot or no?

[sinful cobalt]

is that for 32gb in total

[zealous shell]

for 1 stick

1170 each, 16 GB

[thorny saddle]

lol

[sinful cobalt]

unless you’re desperate/need, no

but cxmt is one of those known china brands for dram

[zealous shell]

lemme check for other sellers

1 is selling for 895

130$

Ah, still pricey asf

[steel umbra]

how do cxmt perform btw compared to micron or hynix?

like when you oc them

are they better or worse than somethin like micron D

[zealous shell]

not sure pal, like I really want someone would order it and test it out

https://www.goofish.com/item?spm=a21ybx.search.searchFeedList.8.847a3279HRFmw1&id=1016816349725&categoryId=126856277

Link is here if anyone willing to give it a shot, china DRAM is a real mystery anyway

[steel umbra]

5600c40 already sounds more promising than most consumer microns

[plain cypress]

Yeah but you could get H24M instead

[steel umbra]

for 600

[plain cypress]

Worth it

[steel umbra]

explodedeeededďddeeedde

[zealous shell]

and yeah, from what I searched in china, those DRAM are widely used in Lenovo

From Thinkbook series I guess?

[sinful cobalt]

shit you’re onto me

[steel umbra]

hey if you can consistently get 2x16gb for 2000 yuan that’s the cheapest ddr5

[zealous shell]

yeah

That is why I am tempted

[sinful cobalt]

they will perform like shit in this regard tbh, rn the china market is just ramping up “usable ram”

[zealous shell]

so please Linus can review this

[sinful cobalt]

quantity first, quality later

[zealous shell]

so I can buy it with confidence

[steel umbra]

look at micron

micron A lol

D is fine

[sinful cobalt]

the only thing looking micron for in mem OC would be CUDIMMs

aka no AMD system xdddd

[steel umbra]

no rezen?

(angery)

[zealous shell]

why no AMD tho?

[steel umbra]

or they’re just more competitive

micron consumer dram is then also quantity over quality

but i mean they are stable at their advertised speeds

just don’t push them other than micron D :)

[sinful cobalt]

no amd consumer system can use CUDIMM properly

[steel umbra]

but for office work you don’t need like 6000mt/s

[zealous shell]

Is it like hardware problems like how architectures build or just like software problems

[zealous shell]

yeah, 5600 is more than enough

[steel umbra]

if you’re just buying some pc for like basic stuff a ryzen 7600 with a 4800mt/s kit is great

[zealous shell]

me happy with my 32 GB kingbank ram and 7950x3D

before the DRAM crazy shit

fuck AI

[steel umbra]

i happe with patriot and g skill kitz

and some random oem kits

(the microney ones)

[empty quartz]

Still cool to me how i got to meet jakkuh

(In 2023 at ltx)

((Rest in piece ltx))

[ivory mountain]

🔥

[steel umbra]

you lost hours of your time to meet jakkuh what a waste of time truly

[ivory mountain]

Time to go eepy time cuz 5am shift this 9070xt aint gonna buy itself

[zealous shell]

and yep, pray there would be reviews on CXMT Drams soon

[empty quartz]

Old photo, but idc ive shown my face quite a few times here

[steel umbra]

a waste of time + face reveal = dox

[ivory mountain]

Hes the goat 😔

[empty quartz]

How was it a waste of time?

[steel umbra]

false

[fringe prairie]

for office work you probably don’t even need a system that requires d5 ram

[sinful cobalt]

you really dont need reviews on a product meant to just work
